8th/9th Air Force air strike (02.02.1945)

[RSwank]

I found another article on the times being used during the war. This is clearly a somewhat confusing subject.

https://www.timeanddate.com/time/eur...g-history.html


My reading of the two time articles (per Nick, I (or the articles) are apparently incorrect ) would say that England stayed on Double SummerTime (GMT +2) throughout the war and Germany would have been on GMT +1 in the winters and Daylight Savings Time (for them GMT +2) in the summers. Thus, my reading is that their clocks would agree in the summer but not the winter.


Searching for February mission reports for the 373rd FG on the Air Force History Index gives a few possibilities:

In particular these:

http://airforcehistoryindex.org/data/000/085/690.xml

http://airforcehistoryindex.org/data/000/085/689.xml

They both appear to be on the same "reel", so are probably on the same $30 CD if you decide to order it.
(Perhaps someone already has that CD.)

(Note there are typically also documents that can be ordered by squadron). Here for example are the 410th and 411th and 412th Squadron reports for Feb 45, all on reel 847 but these seem to be for awards, etc. not mission reports, so probably not useful to you.)
